    Default What is your prediction of your first KEEPER size Striper?

    Just trying to get the blood pumping. I figure my first 28" + striper will be April 1st. If this weather doesn't get any better that is my date. If things warm up alot then March 15th.

    If it warms up and stays dry I am hoping to get out around the 15th of March.

    I think my first one will come from the Mo River the first two weeks of April, unless things warm up quicker than I expect.

    Third week of March, plastics in the back not a WWD

The excellent people who protest against all hunting and consider sportsmen as enemies of wildlife are ignorant of the fact that in reality the genuine sportsman is, by all odds, the most important factor in keeping the larger and more valuable wild creatures from total extermination"

    Despite my best intentions, the boat will probably not hit the water till the first week of April, and I predict a 30" on my 3rd trip out, somewhere around the Graveling Point area of the bay.

    First warm day in late March i'll pull one off the dock in Grassy Sound. Early outgoing tide after a sunny day warming up the flats will get the bass active and eating my pinkies.

    Looks like late March for the back.
    I know some bridges that will
    produce early on ( don't ask)
    Probabably April out front. I
    plan to do most fishing out
    front up north in and around
    island beach state park
    and don't really know when
    it really gets going up there.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hey Roger where do you put in at
    now that your old launching spot is gone?

    Default I don't have it posted yet, but...

    I'll be offering the same rewards in my store as the last few years. So when you catch your keeper stop by for a weigh in and a picture.
